"The GCAA team recently participated in Joint Authorities Technical Review team meetings which has been formed to look into Flight Control System of B737-8 Max.
"The GCAA is still in the process of seeking more technical information from the FAA on the improvements being proposed. Therefore, GCAA won't be able to give a date of unbanning until it has enough information to ensure passengers safety is protected," the statement concluded.
